If I remember correctly,3yrs ago, when my door switch/button went out , my mechanic found that Volvo switch/button was the same and readily available.

John,
>I found one on a Fiat site...

Possibly you saw the Door Jamb Switch #: 31601
http://www.international-auto.com/pdf_files/IAP32.pdf

It does look pretty close!

BTW, I found the part#:

60054509 JAM SWITCH, 308 ROUND

This thread may save you some research time by closing off false leads:

Hmm, ICP still lists them on their web site:
http://www.italiancarparts.com/parts/ferrariparts.html#exterior
Look under:
'Switches, Latches, Levers & related parts':

Door Jam Switch, 308/Mondial: #FR4509 $39.75

Verell,
Nope- I already asked him. I'd rather buy a new one that fix mine that broke last week as I was trying to remove it.
I looked on the site and also could not find a part number. I found one on a Fiat site that look similar for 4 bucks. I might order that one if I can find it again.

Mark,
I miss-read your post. What we haven't been able to get are the door actuated switches that mount inside the door jamb.

I can't find where it's shown in the SPC or I'd supply the part #.

Anyway, do you have them by any chance?

Not what I was looking for. What I am looking for is the dome-light equivalent thing (rectangular shape) that you wiggle to turn on and off. This is mounted mid-way up the door panel.

Got one of those, or two or three?

Mark,
That's great news as we haven't been able to find them here in the US for about 3 years!

There's a good chance that you've got a broken door switch. The fiber washer that insulates the switch contact from the metal plunger shaft breaks. It can be replaced. Search the archives about 2 mo. ago for my description of how I repaired my door switch.

Switch is stuck. It is located at the front door jam. You may need to put in a double sticky piece of tape or something like that to actuate the switch when the door is in the closing position.

Help! My '79 308 now keeps its door lights, the little round red ones on all the time. Is the a common problem? Or is it typical italian electrics? Where are all the switches? I'm guessing there are two, plunger types- one on each door.

Thanks for any advice.
